In short, I liked it. Yes – it was a bit long, yes – it was naive, yes – there were no strategy in the final battle. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie and recommend anyone to watch it in a movie theater on a big screen.

A documentary about how food is made in US. Good questions, and good attitudes. The movie tried to be too sentimental at times, but still it had delivered the message! I never thought about how customers change the supplier. According to the movie, fast food chains are the largest customer for meet, and crops. Now it is only logical to see that the production methods from fast food chains must be applied to the food suppliers if they are too support the demand. How good are the methods? That is for you to decide. On the other hand, we are the customers for the food chains. They will give us what we ask them for. Hence, we vote for what kind of food we get with every meal we purchase! That is a lot of power in our hands. http://www.foodincmovie.com/

The cove

Interesting documentary that focuses on one particular place in Japan, where dolphins are slaughtered. It is a story of a man who is trying to undo something that he had started. Some moments were really intense (better than action movies), some were very brutal. The goal of the movie is to rise awareness about the issue of dolphin captivity and killings. The author says, that if it is not possible to stop killing in one particular place, then it is not possible to address the global problem of killing whales and dolphins world wide. http://takepart.com/thecove.

9

I have watched 9. I will give it 3/5. The movie had nice action sequences and the movie world had an interesting perspective, given the size of the characters. Alas, the movie did not answer too many questions to make complete sense, and no amount of interesting scenery or action sequences could hide it. Why did the machine stop working? Why did it need what it needed? Why there were 9 of them? Overall, I missed the message… was it there? The Nightmare Before Christmas had it all a message, cinematography, characters. I could see that this movie had this potential, but it was not fulfilled.

Not highly realistic movie. I liked some intense action scenes. Dialogs oftentimes were very close to being cheesy. I would not recommend watching it in a theater, there are very few scenes with beautiful settings of snow and ice, the rest is inside or almost whiteout conditions.

Dancing movie

Tango is a movie about dancing and dancers. I wish every movie about dancing would be full of dances like this one. I never thought there are so many sides for tango. I was able to see what is being communicated by the dances! A masterpiece!

Sad but a very good movie

I’ve watched Finiding Neverland over this weekend. It is a drama. It touched me. Johnny Depp delivered the character very well! If you do not mind crying and like a good drama I would recommend this movie. It is a big question when do we stop being kids and become adults!

Another good movie

Million Dollar Baby is a very enjoyable movie… sad, but very good. For me it even looks like a real story.

One of the best movies I have seen
